Recent reviews for nursing homes in Tar Fork
Brookdale Stonestreet in Louisville, KY
3.6
The community of residents is great. My mom has made many wonderful friends. The staff do not seem empowered to make improvements to the number of employees or the quality of the food or food service. It's the biggest detractor by far.
Heritage Woods of Newburgh

They helped without it feeling like it to the residents. Everyone was happy and alive!! Employees enjoyed their job.
Vitality Living Elizabethtown

There was a waiting list at the other places and she needed a place to go immediately. However, these people really seem to care about her being comfortable and welcome. I would recommend to others.
